South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire UK Name 13 New BT Fibre Rollout Areas
The joint £35.6m superfast broadband roll-out project between South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire in England has today announced another batch of local communities that can expect to receive an upgrade to BT’s “fibre broadband“(FTTC/P) network from summer 2014.
A number of local upgrades have already been announced (here and here) and so far this has resulted in an additional 1,100 premises being connected in Wiltshire (reaching 10,000 by June 2014) and 5,000 in South Gloucestershire by summer 2014.
